Eldest cat has come home from her life-saving-but-very-traumatic vet visit. She had a medium sized meal of wet food (I’m going to feed her small amounts every few hours so she doesn’t overload and get sick). She is cuddled in my lap being relieved and slightly stinky. Cat abscesses have a nasty smell - I mean every abscess stinks, but an oral one combines the worst excesses of stinky kitty breath and putrescence. However, she will still get all the cuddles, and possibly a gently salt rinse for her mouth later.
Yesterday, between the vet visit, two fruitless trip to the credit union, and small errands to the pharmacy and discount grocer, I did not get much Me time. However, I DID tack up Hero in the late afternoon and we took a small ride through the forest. Accompanied, of course, by two delighted dogs and a panting, fussing goat. A ride through a May forest, glowing greener than an emerald, is a delight to the soul.
Soon I need to set aside the cat and get my butt out to the garden. The Kaleidoscope carrot seed tape I planted did indeed germinate earlier this week. Even with the seeds stuck to a paper backing there is some thinning needed, but it’s much better than the solid mass of tiny seedlings we get when we just sow the seeds. I am HOPING for a nice crop of every carroty color. The weeds grow three times as fast as the veg, though, so I’d better do something about that.
Tokyo 2020 Dressage Stars . Something a little bit different. Some very quick scribbles with a splash of colour, of the equine stars of the Olympics. Took some screenshots from the routines and drew from them as reference. Wow! It’s really something else watching the best of the best! All the horses looked like they were dancing. Makes me want to go riding again. Also, it’s so frustrating when these quick scribbles have SO much more character than my ‘finished’ pieces
Ok here’s the context for the picture. I posted a tik tok of me riding my horse to a tinder date and a bunch of thirsty straight women assumed I was a hunky cowboy and slid into my dms. So I fixed it.
My horse Squidward loves the water so I took her out to a river to swim and she got so excited she shoved her whole fat dumb head underwater which I have literally never seen a horse do before
This is killing me I love her
i’m sorry but you named your horse WHAT
Their names are Chicken Nugget and Squidward, like in the Bible
I’ve literally met this person have a photo with them. They travel to colleges and speak about deafness and being queer. They are also a super funny comedian. Their horses and dogs are incredible.
I even have a video of the head dunk posted somewhere on there lol
can second everything frightenedofrabbits said tho unfortunately i don’t have a photo. i’m in grad school now teaching psych classes and i reference stuff i learned from your MBLGTACC workshop + visit to our college all the time (esp. when talking about language development)!
I cannot tell you how happy that makes me! ❤️ This whole thread is just the kindest thing

Squidward did so well yesterday at our first mounted archery lesson! She haaaaated the sound of the arrows hitting the target but she tried so hard and she was so brave!
